Obama Walks Tricky Line With Democrats on Border Plan

In President Barack Obama’s meeting with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Wednesday, there were few disagreements about how to handle a surge in children crossing the U.S. border.

That may be because the president didn’t explain exactly what he wants Congress to do.

Lawmakers said that Mr. Obama talked about wanting to make sure that children facing deportation have due process rights, but didn’t talk about any of the other changes that he supports. Rather, they focused on Mr. Obama’s $3.7 billion emergency spending request, which most everyone in the room supports.
